A method for providing three-dimensional audio is provided. The method includes receiving a depth map imaging a scene from a depth camera and recognizing a human subject present in the scene. The human subject is modeled with a virtual skeleton comprising a plurality of joints defined with a three-dimensional position. A world space ear position of the human subject is determined based on the virtual skeleton. Furthermore, a target world space ear position of the human subject is determined. The target world space ear position is the world space position where a desired audio effect can be produced via an acoustic transducer array. The method further includes outputting a notification representing a spatial relationship between the world space ear position and the target world space ear position.
